Episode notes
Robert Williams' False Arrest
- Robert Williams was falsely arrested due to a facial recognition error in front of his family.
- This humanizes AI harms and highlights racial bias in facial recognition systems.
Bias from Skewed AI Data
- AI bias often arises from skewed training datasets dominated by lighter-skinned and male faces.
- This leads to false progress and systemic discrimination in facial recognition technology.

- Deadly AI harms can occur now without the need for superintelligence or sentient systems.
